Very nice facility....perfect for watching a hockey game. With large events, parking may be an issue. The facility can host several events at the same time.

I've attended both Omaha Beef indoor football and UNO MBB at the Ralston Arena. Plenty of free parking in the arena's lots. Nice variety of food offerings, but the concourses can get a bit tight if there is a big crowd for an event. Seats seem a bit smaller and 'harder' than other places I've been. Individual cup holders always a plus. Low slope single bowl seating great for arena foot ball ... low angle makes watching basketball behind the end lines a a bit tough with the basket support stanchion blocking view a bit. Haven't seen a Lancer (hockey) game there, but heard they're great.

Thank you for your review. I wanted to let you know that we have purchased and installed over 600 acoustical tiles in the arena. This has made a great difference and we hope to see you again. We will continue to pursue improvements.

Much has been said about the limited parking, and while that may be valid, it is of little consequence when one gets to the venue. This place is just great. Broad walkways make getting from one part of the building to another very easy. Access from one level to another can be accomplished by stair or elevator. The concourses are lined with food and souvenir vendors which offer a good variety.Being of recent construction, the design allows for unimpaired sight-lines from every seat. No one has a spot behind a column as in many of these types of facilities. Additionally, though not in use at the event I attended, there were private boxes available.The staff was eager and helpful and seemed to enjoy working here.

The Ralston Arena while looks nice the seats are way to small, i am 6'2 and my knees would not fit in the chairs without turning sideways. Also when leaving the Arena it is a terrible experience you can only turn onto a one way street with only 2 turing lanes, I now understand why the Ralston Arena is loosing money!

We have seen several sporting events at this new facility. It is a good venue for events attracting fewer than 7500 patrons. the parking is free, but limited. The prices are market for the area. The arena tries to attract quality events that do not depend on large venues to succeed.

I have been to the arena twice. It is a nice place but I have a problem with parking. It takes almost 30-45 minutes to get out after the event. Better planning was needed. It takes me 5 minutes to get out of the Century Link parking lot. Come on Ralston. We can do better. Even getting to the Arena is a problem. 72nd streets gets backed up and it took 30 minutes to park.

My husband and I went to the Ralston Arena for the first time to see an Omaha Lancer's hockey game. What a wonderful surprise this venue is. The ice rink is well maintained, the bathrooms are clean, the concessions are varied and there does not appear to be a bad seat in the house. We cannot wait to see a concert here. Parking is free, but spaces are at a premium so get there early.

I have been to the Ralston Arena for numerous events and every time I am just amazed!! The facility is state of the art, the staff is second to none and each experience was better than the last!! If you haven't attended a concert or event yet...you are really missing out!

My wife and I have been to the Ralston Arena several times and have really enjoyed each experience. I feel they are offerning a wide range of events and everyone should take the opportunity to visit and see for themselves. Don

We have spent a number of fun evenings at the Ralston Arena this summer. The Independence Day fireworks was truly spectacular. Martina McBride and Kenny G concerts were awesome. Can't forget Legends football. What an interesting experience! Looking forward to Credence Clearwater Revisited later on in August. Great ambience, good food and fun events!!!!!!
